CDLL961

Overview

CDLL961 is a type of Zener diode with a single junction. It is adapted for low current applications, and designed to provide robust, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for a wide range of applications. This article will discuss the fields of application of CDLL961, as well as its working principle.

Application

CDLL961 is used in a wide range of applications. The most common application is in the field of power electronics, where the diode is used to regulate the flow of current. It is also used in the telecommunications industry, particularly in secure communications systems such as cellular phones and military radios. Additionally, it is also used in automotive electronics, such as engine control systems. Other applications of CDLL961 include flight control systems, audio frequency amplifiers, and industrial automation equipment.

Working principle

CDLL961 is a Zener diode, which means that the semiconductors can conduct current in either the forward or reverse direction. In forward bias, the diode behaves like a normal diode and follows Ohm\'s law. In reverse bias, the diode acts as a voltage-regulated device. When a voltage higher than the Zener voltage is applied to the diode, a thin depletion layer is formed around the PN junction. This depletion layer prevents current from flowing, but if the voltage is higher than the Zener voltage, a small electric current will flow through the diode. As the voltage increases, so does the resistance of the diode. This is a self-regulating property of Zener diodes, and enables them to be used to regulate current flows.
